What starts as a generic "walk around the creepy house" ends up being uniquely done atmospheric horror with deeper themes, then we might expect.
DEMOs are always fun to play, as they showcase the most important and strong aspects of the game. Personally, this one did it for me, it drew a picture of what I can expect from the upcoming title and left a bit of hope to improve in some parts of the game.
First, the level of detail - fantastic. The textures, the environment and most of all the dolls were neatly put in where they are supposed to be, slowly creeping through the psyche of the player and yet, feeling somewhat grounded. I loved the attention to smaller things like chairs, cups, vases, TV, yet, there were notes, which took me out of that surreal feeling, as the placement for those were a bit clumsy, especially the one on TV.
Sound design was close to being binaural panning, yet, I still heard more 3D and compressed effects, rather than feeling those sounds in real life. Maybe, using headphone set would improve the overall quality, but nevertheless it's remarkable.
Story - very intrigued and invested.
Now, as for the criticism - because the upload is a Demo, I would not be too strict about some details, which I found overwhelming, although I do have to mention a couple of them, in order to have some feedback for you, N4bA. Depth of field was too much, I could barely see what was in front of me and considering, that the player is a child, they should see way better than, for example, adult or older person. The settings need to be added for the full game, in order to better balance sensitivity, depth of field and some post processing, which sometimes felt too much. Atmosphere is great, but I would like to see more involvement and less investigation. As I've played your other projects, like "From The Darkness" and "Not Alone" (which is still the best game of yours, so far), this one could use less walking and more interaction, but, I am not saying the game does not have interaction, I meant it being more involved with the development of the story.
Overall, worth everyone's time and looking forward to the full release. Good luck!
